Mingun Pahtodawgyi ruins: bring the Valley Giants.

"In 1790, King Bodawpaya ordered the construction of a large Buddhist temple near Mingun, a village outside Mandalay in what is now Myanmar. Prisoners of war and slaves were conscripted to build the temple, but Bodawpaya’s own people didn’t like the toll the massive project put on the general population.
So it’s said that the king was told if the temple was completed, his reign would come to an end – either the country would dissolve or the king would die. The superstitious Bodawpaya took the warning to heart, demanding a slow-down on construction. When he died in 1819, the project was immediately abandoned. A huge earthquake in 1839 caused cracks in the structure, but visitors can visit the ruins of Mingun Pahtodawgyi, a nearly 500-foot tall monument."
